OUR WORD TO PARENTS:

The following is a brief summary of the content found in this film that has not been rated by the MPAA.
Profanity consists of at least 3 "s" words, while some colorful phrases are also present. Some female surfers are briefly seen in bikinis (with one briefly riding low and some non-exploitative cleavage is present). Some people are briefly seen drinking or smoking.

Various surfers are shown in some serious wipe-outs while surfing, but beyond the sight of one injured (and in pain) surfer, we don't see the end results of such oceanic mayhem. That said, some of that footage and the sheer scope of the waves that some of the surfers ride might be a little unsettling for some viewers.

Should you still be concerned about the film's appropriateness for yourself or anyone else in your home, you may want to look more closely at our detailed listings for more specific information regarding the film's content.

Some of the surfing and surfing stunts (surfing backwards, doing a handstand on the board, having more than one person on the board, surfing in the wake of large ships, etc.) might be enticing for some kids to imitate.
